U.N. investigators find Yemen's Houthis did not carry out Saudi oil attack
U.N investigations are questionable. However, the likelihood of the Aramaco attack being carried out by the Houthis seems questionable as well. What to believe? Personally speaking, my opinion was that the attack on the Saudi oil facility was not perpetuated by the Houthis.* Can't blame Iran if the Houthis are not responsible! * *Saudi Oil Attack- If this is the big one... * *“ My opinion is that it's unlikely this attack came from the Houthis or that it originated in Yemen”* Seemed to me that the attacks could have been launched by the Americans, possibly from their base in Sy... more »
Iran-- Which Way Now, While Trump Is Still Occupying The White House?
An hour before Trump addressed the country yesterday, *The Atlantic* published a column by David Frum, Americans Aren't Rallying to Trump-- A president who writes off half the country can't expect to garner support from a crisis of his own making. Iran had to do *something* after Trump assassinated Soleimani but their leaders are smart enough to not do something suicidal. So they launched some noisy missiles at a couple of Iraqi bases housing Americans that didn't really target Americans. "But imagine," suggested Frum, "that Iran had gotten luckier (or unluckier) with its missile ... more »
Game Changer: The Navy Is Deploying Lasers On Its Ships
*David Axe* *Technology, Americas* What can they shoot down? *Key Point: *The Navy hopes to begin fielding a megawatt-class laser in the 2025 timeframe. The U.S. Navy apparently has installed a new laser cannon on one of its destroyers. The installation could represent a big step forward for the U.S. fleet as it scrambles to deploy defenses against Chinese and Russian anti-ship missiles. A source provided to Tyler Rogoway, editor of The War Zone, a photo of the *Arleigh Burke*-class destroyer USS *Dewey *at the naval base in San Diego.

Would Iraq Really Purchase the S-400 from Russia?
*Mark Episkopos* *Security, * Or is this national security fake news? Is Russia really trying to sell their flagship S-400 missile defense system to Iraq? Not so fast. A string of reports alleged earlier this week that Russia is seeking to export the S-400 to Iraq. To be sure, it’s a timely and compelling narrative. The Trump administration’s decision to order a lethal airstrike against top Iranian general Qasem Soleimani has cast doubt over the future of continued U.S. military presence in the Middle East, culminating in the recent Iraqi parliament vote for the expulsion of U.... more »
China Would Rather You Forget Their Losing a War Against Vietnam
*Charlie Gao* *Security, * [image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Vietnamese_War#/media/File:Vietnamese_artillery_1979.jpg] In 1979 the PLA didn't live up to expectations. *Key Point:* The PLA was able to use the 1979 as a testing ground for military reforms. Chinese operations against Vietnam in the 1980s are often divided into four phases. In the first, the Chinese and Vietnamese further entrenched their positions along the border. This lasted until 1981. The second and third phase consisted of escalating offensive operations across the border from 1981 to 1987, gradually... more »
America's F-35 Stealth Fighter Has No True Competitor
*Kris Osborn* *Technology, Americas* It is second to none. *Key point:* The F-35 is designed with long-range sensors and data fusion technologies such that, as a fifth-generation aircraft, it can complete the OODA Loop much more quickly than potential adversaries. An F-35 Joint Strike Fighter would be able to use its sensors, weapons and computer technology to destroy Russian and Chinese 5th-Generation Stealth fighters in a high-end combat fight, service officials said. “There is nothing that I have seen from maneuvering an F-35 in a tactical environment that leads me to assume ... more »
America Has Had Many Excellent Generals, But These 5 Were Truly Awful
*Michael Peck* *Security, * Who made the list? *Key Point:* Every nation produces bad generals as well as good ones—and America is no exception. It would be nice if all American generals were great. How might Vietnam or Iraq have turned out if a George Washington, a Ulysses Grant or a George Patton had been in command? Alas, call it the laws of probability or just cosmic karma, but every nation produces bad generals as well as good ones—and America is no exception. What is a bad general? Defining that is like defining a bad meal. Some would say that failure on the battlefield ... more »
If a Battleship and a Aircraft Carrier Had a Baby, This Would Have Been It

In the early 1980s, four Iowa-class fast battleships originally built during World War II—Iowa, Missouri, New Jersey and Wisconsin—were taken out ... more »
Glock's Model 30 Is The Perfect Combination Of Firepower And Concealability
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Take a look. *Key point: *The G30 does not skimp on raw power. Glock’s most powerful—and compact—handgun is a mix of old and new technology. The Glock 30 subcompact handgun merges the .45 ACP round, a product of the Industrial Revolution, with modern handgun technology. The result is a highly concealable firearm that, once drawn, has few equals. The .45 Automatic Colt Pistol (ACP) round was developed by prolific arms inventor John Moses Browning. The U.S. Army’s experience with the .38 Long Colt round during the Philippine Insurrection left it wantin... more »
Did You Know the Vietcong Sank A U.S. Aircraft Carrier?
*Robert Beckhusen* *Security, * [image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Card#/media/File:USS_Card_(CVE-11).jpg] At the time a huge defeat for the United States, today the incident is little remembered. *Key Point*: The Vietnamese celebrate this victory to the present day. It was shortly after midnight when two Viet Cong commandos emerged from a sewer tunnel that emptied into Saigon Port, each man carrying nearly 90 pounds of high explosives and the components needed to make two time bombs. Their target was the largest American ship in port, USNS Card. An escort carrier that s... more »

*Russell Kirk on Higher Education* Russell Kirk isn’t known as a policy wonk. The Great Books, not the mathematical or statistical models of economic technicians, were his organon of choice. He devoted essays to broad, perennial themes like “the moral imagination,” “liberal learning,” and “the permanent things.” Read his numerous columns about higher education, however, and you might come away with a different impression, one of Kirk as a political strategist with a strong grasp of educational policy.

Assistant New York Times Wedding Section Editor Dan Gould Issues Corrections
*Corrections: Jan 8, 2020* (NYT) The New York Times would like to issue corrections for the wedding announcement of Mr. Adam Penview to Ms. Katie Jasper that ran in yesterday's Wedding Section. We incorrectly identified in the announcement that Mr. Adam Penview and Ms. Katie Jasper were married at the Church of the Holy Trinity in Manhattan. They were married at St. Brigid’s. Additionally, we inaccurately wrote that the groom “attended Cornell University and double-majored in English and Humping Other English Majors’ Girlfriends.” Mr. Penview, in fact, only majored in English.

*Tesla becomes the most valuable US car maker of all time with a market value of $81.39billion - surpassing Ford Motor's peak of $80.81billion set in 1999* *This absurd valuation is driven by perceptions of electric cars as the next big thing. They are not. In the Northern North American winter the range of electric cars is going to be drastically reduced by the need to use battery power to keep the driver warm.

The accomplishments of President Trump that Galli ignores in his impeachment for Evangelicals Christianity Today article
1. The appointment of two Supreme Court justices, 50 judges to federal circuit courts of appeal, and 133 federal district court judges (plus two other judges to specialized courts). All of them are committed to interpreting the Constitution and the laws according to the original meaning of the words and not according to their personal policy preferences. This is a good result of immeasurable benefit to the future of the country, for it guarantees that laws must be made by elected legislators who are accountable to the people, not by judges who are appointed for life and have no ef... more »
Fact checking Trump’s lies
"Do Trump’s tweets contain lies? Galli (Christianity Today article condemning Evangelicals who support Trump) himself gives no examples, but the Washington Post on December 16 carried an article, “President Trump Has Made 15,413 False or Misleading Claims over 1,055 Days.” What exactly are these alleged lies?

Eric Metaxas on Christianity Today
Here’s text of Eric Metaxas’ Wall Street Journal article . . . provided by Kelly Kullberg. “The magazine Christianity Today—which bore the imprimatur of its founder, Billy Graham —once arguably represented the broad middle of “American evangelicalism.” But a recent editorial calling for President Trump’s removal through impeachment confirmed the magazine’s creep toward that Slough of Despond populated by liberal elites and Joe Biden. The article cleared its throat—and conscience—by declaring “unambiguous” the “facts” of the president’s guilt. Having thus defenestrated objectivity... more »

Why America's Elite Commandoes Turned To The AK-47 In Vietnam
*WarIsBoring* *History, Asia* The AK-47 is very reliable. *Key point:* Even as Washington’s involvement in Southeast Asia waned, the Pentagon still made use of its captured stockpiles. While the Soviet *Avtomat Kalashnikova* has become the iconic weapon of bad guys in Hollywood blockbusters and big-budget video games, U.S. commandos made good use of the rugged rifles in Vietnam. By the end of the conflict, the American military had reissued captured Ak-47s, made new ammunition for them and came up with a few other surprises.

Revealed: The Secret Behind Iran's Sniper That Can Kill From 1,600 Meters Away
*Robert Beckhusen* *Security, Middle East* Tehran hurts its own reputation by constantly showing off fake weapons. *Key point:* Tehran hurts its own reputation by constantly showing off fake weapons. Iran regularly over-hypes its military technology, and in some cases, shows off bogus equipment for propaganda purposes. Iran’s military industry is also resourceful and produces interesting weapons which the Islamic republic then proliferates into very real conflicts.

Northrop Grumman revealed this year it is developing a second flying wing stealth bomber, the B-21 Raider, to succeed its B-2 Spirit. However, it was a pair of German brothers in the service of Nazi Germany that developed the first jet-powered flying wing—which has been dubbed, debatably, “Hitler’s stealth fighter.” But maximizing speed and range, not stealth, was the ... more »

This time, the target wasn’t a terrorist. It was the Japanese admiral who planned the Pearl Harbor operation. But the motive was the same: payback for a sneak attack on the United States.

Invincible Ignorance of Catholicism
The task of Catholicism has always been to share a deep understanding of not just the direct teachings of Jesus but also to share access to the Holy Spirit in communion with others of the faithful. This last part is the problem of course. We all hear of spiritual practice, but little is actually communicated. It is almost as if we are all afraid to share direct knowledge as it allows yourself to be challenged. It uis hard on the ego to face challenge. It is thus unsurprising that the enlightenment focused on mastering literacy in order to read the scriptures as a path forward. ... more »
